Over 2.3 million students and adults have participated in a Talk About Trees classroom program since 1991! Talk About Trees is a statewide forestry education program focused on increasing the student’s knowledge and awareness of forestry and related issues. This on-site, hands-on science unit is offered to pre-school through eighth grade students free of charge and is presented by Talk About Trees facilitators.

Oregon Women in Timber is a volunteer organization.Your support makes a difference! A contract with the Oregon Forest Resources Institute offers the primary financial support for the Talk About Trees program, but just as critical is the support from our annual auction, grants and the many generous donations from individuals and businesses just like you. This assistance and confidence enables Talk About Trees to continue educating Oregonians, young and old, about the valuable resources in our renewable forests.

Please take a moment to consider how you can help keep this program in our schools. Get the donation and ticket form by click here.

Special donations such as trips, jewelry, guns or artwork always are big hits.
